Using Rubi TS 60 plus for snapping 45° cuts - how?

[cornish_crofter]

I know I should be able to use this but today I couldn't work it out.

I tried to no avail to do a 45° cut on a porcelin tile. The technique I used was to line the score up with the rails then try to use the breaker with the edge of the tile at 45° to the top rail.

Obviously I was OK scoring them but the problem I had was breaking along the score line without damaging the tile.

I'm assuming that this isn't correct and that I should simply position the tile up to the top rail so that the score line runs over the breaking mechanism?

Thanks

This is where you could do with a cutter with a moveable breaker such as the TX range or Sigma types

I struggle with the Husky sometimes, it has a moveable breaker but the rails flex if you move too far away from either end of them.

So, I've just spent £180 on a tile cutter that can't do something that my £20 one could????

Surely not!

Score and lightly tap the tile on the score line over the handle......The harder the tile the less chance you can snap them on 45 in a TS....The TR and TX range are very efficent for this type of cutting....

I have TS/TR and TX cutters.....always prepared for what ever tile i come across.( hopefully)....:lol:

Would it work if I positioned the score line over the 'needle' with the tile up against the guard, even if the score line is 45 degrees off?
